Being Mortal

In an age of medical miracles, how do we face the inevitable reality of mortality? Atul Gawande, a renowned surgeon, confronts this question with honesty and compassion in "Being Mortal."  This insightful book explores the modern experience of ageing and dying, examining how medical advances have both extended our lives and distanced us from the natural process of death.  

Atul Gawande weaves together moving personal stories, medical insights, and philosophical reflections, and is especially relevant right now in challenging our assumptions about end-of-life care. He argues for a shift in focus from simply prolonging life to ensuring quality of life, emphasizing the importance of individual choice, autonomy, and dignity in our final days.

"Being Mortal" is a powerful exploration of how to live a good life - all the way to the very end.
